Did not know there was a place where you could conceal carry in a city council meeting.

HOOK EM HORNS

Why I Bring My Gun to School

The rights and values of gun-owning women aren’t being addressed by either political party. While conservatives aren’t paying enough attention to sexual assault, liberals are actively hurting women’s access to self-defense. Many liberals — including many female professors my organization approached as potential sponsors for Empowered — don’t support a woman’s “right to choose” when it comes to her own self-defense. They can’t get behind a vision of female empowerment that doesn’t match their own.

This is from the NYT Oped page, so there is the normal amount of MHFy frothing in the comments section, e.g., NEEDS MOAR COPS. Entertaining stuff.

It's not their fault Fife - their smaller brains impair their ability to see the contradiction :hiding:

IMHO (seriously) a good portion of women want the government to be their parent/caretaker, and they think their parent should be the only one to use force.....I really do wonder how much of that is evolutionary......

The rise of the nanny state is closely correlated with the death of the nanny industry...

Huh? Cost of childcare disagrees..... Seems like the nanny industry is doing just fine with all the "liberated" women now in the workforce....

O are you referring to the shrinking jobs market?

I was agreeing with you that the new prominent role of women in society has a strong influence on the rise of the nanny state. If you're looking for a reason for our thousands of idiotic "safety" laws, it's not a weakening of our minds, it's women.
